Chapter 988: Hitting a Woman's First Cultivation (II)
Clearwater Bay Cinema, a popular costume action drama is being filmed intensively.
"Cards!"
The director stood up from behind the monitor, pointed to the two supporting actors who played with Wan Qiwen and scolded: "You two can't act, and the table won't really hit you, what are you hiding!" ”
After reprimanding the two martial artists, the director walked up to Wan Qiwen, rubbed his hands and said apologetically: "Miss Wan, I'm sorry, these two guys are new and don't know how to cooperate, why don't we do this scene again?" ”
Wan Qiwen nodded in understanding, and the director immediately called someone to come over to touch up her makeup.
The crew revolved around Wan Qiwen, but two of the drama managers did not move forward, but stood aside and chatted.
"Miss Wan should be the most capable of playing among the wireless Hua Dan now."
"It's hard to find an actress who can play in Hong Kong, and it's even harder to find an actress who is beautiful and can fight...... Now many TV series within wireless are rushing to find Miss Wan to film, if Director Liu is not Uncle Liang's right-hand man, this TV series may not be able to invite Miss Wan to star. ”
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was completed and released in Taiwan last year, causing a ratings sensation, and it took half a year for TVB to introduce this TV series to Hong Kong, but I didn't expect it to cause a ratings sensation as soon as it was broadcast, and the average ratings exceeded 40% after only three episodes were broadcast.
Lin Zhiying, who temporarily retired from the entertainment industry and started military service, was not able to enjoy the benefits of the hit "Fairy Sword", but the two heroines became the ultimate beneficiaries. Zhao Linger starring Li Ruohun and Lin Yueru starring Wan Qiwen each have a large number of supporters, but Wan Qiwen has gained the most.
Through this TV series. Wan Qiwen's potential to hit women has been further explored. Not only is wireless internal in order to compete for her filming. Several producers almost fell out, and the film companies outside began to prepare for the corner.
It's not that Lin Youlun was not in Hong Kong during this time, so these film companies began to become restless, but this behavior itself was tacitly approved by Lin Youlun.
At the beginning, Wan Qiwen signed a contract with Wireless, as long as she completed the number of episodes specified in the contract each year, she could arrange the rest of the time freely, and the reform of the artist contract system implemented by Lin Youlun after joining Wireless also gave wireless artists more freedom to choose than before. Although in the TV series, it is still subject to the arrangement of wireless. But when it comes to movies, it is not limited by wireless contracts.
There are many film companies in Hong Kong that are interested in Wan Qiwen, among which Shaw Brothers is the most active.
Although wireless has changed hands, Shao Yifu is still the second largest shareholder of the company, and Fang Yihua also continues to serve as the executive president of wireless.
——
When the door of the dressing room was pushed open, Wan Qiwen was taking off her earrings in front of the mirror. Then, halfway through the action, he suddenly paused.
"Sister Jane!"
Wan Qiwen hurriedly stood up from her seat and turned to greet the visitor.
"The makeup artist says you've taken off your makeup. So I came in without knocking, didn't bother you, did I? Zeng Lizhen nodded at Wan Qiwen, and her smile looked very kind.
Zeng Lizhen has always been known for being strict in wireless, last year, Wireless TV celebrated a chorus program for all the entertainers, hundreds of people got together during the rehearsal, many people were not serious, either chatting and laughing or holding the big brother on the phone, and the red situation made the director in charge of the conductor feel helpless.
At that time, Wan Qiwen was really chatting with Li Ruoxun and Quinoa about skin care, and suddenly a woman rushed onto the stage, holding a microphone, pointing at the noses of several superstars who were not attentive to rehearsals, and scolded loudly, and named names!
The whole scene was suddenly silent, and several scolded red stars looked at the woman in front of them dumbfounded, and Wan Qiwen was one of the people who were named.
From then on, Wan Qiwen would be a little stunned when she saw Zeng Lizhen, so as soon as she saw Zeng Lizhen coming in from the mirror just now, she immediately stood up from her seat, and now half of the earrings have not been taken off.
"Okay, don't be so nervous, I'm not coming to you today as a job, so our meeting and the rest of the conversation are purely personal."
Zeng Lizhen beckoned Wan Qiwen to sit down, and pulled a chair over herself.
"Ah Wen, your contract with Wireless expires next year, have you ever thought about concentrating on being a movie actor in the future?"
"The wireless side has already talked to me about renewing the contract, and I only need to help the wireless side shoot two TV series in a year, and I can arrange the rest of the time by myself, I think it's very good."
Wan Qiwen paid extra attention when answering this question, and did not directly tell Zeng Lizhen the specific content of the contract.
"You may have misunderstood what I meant, I didn't want you to leave TVB, but I said that you signed a TV series with TVB, and then you can sign with other companies for movies, such as Shaw Brothers."
If she could, Zeng Lizhen didn't want to have a showdown with Wan Qiwen so directly, but her "time" was really running out.
On the one hand, the TV series that Wan Qiwen is filming now is supervised by Liang Jiashu, and Zeng Lizhen came secretly this time, so she can't stay for a long time, otherwise she will be noticed by that side;
On the other hand, Zeng Lizhen has decided to follow Fang Yihua to work at Shaw Brothers, and it is not long before she officially stays on the wireless side, taking advantage of this opportunity, of course, she wants to attract more artists to "jump" to Shaw Brothers with her, so that her position in Shaw Brothers will be more stable in the future.
Wan Qiwen was a little moved by Zeng Lizhen's invitation, but then she remembered a chat with Li Ruoxun some time ago.
At that time, the two talked about the future development, Wan Qiwen asked Li Ruoxun if he had any ideas to leave wireless in the future and become a full-time film actor, and then Li Ruohun shook his head very decisively, saying that he would definitely renew his contract with wireless.
Wan Qiwen asked Li Ruoxun if it was because of Lin Youlun that she made this decision, Li Ruoxun first nodded, and then shook her head.
From entering the industry to the present, Li Ruoxun has always received a lot of care from Lin Youlun, and emotionally she is definitely willing to continue to stay in wireless, but her decision is not entirely because of emotional factors.
Li Ruoxun's reason is very simple, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, after Lin Youlun becomes the owner of wireless, if he has a suitable movie role in his hands in the future, he will definitely give priority to wireless artists.
Although he did this, the opportunity to take on movies in the future will definitely not be as many as directly signing contracts with outside film companies, but the quality of the movies shot by Lin Youlun is difficult for other film companies to match, and the reputation he has gained by acting in one of his movies may not be comparable to other films.
The truth is correct, but Wan Qiwen knows that she and Li Ruoxun are different.
Li Ruoxun was discovered by Lin Youlun to enter the entertainment industry, and she is the godsister of Zhou Comin who took the initiative to recognize, with such a relationship, even if she doesn't do anything in the future, she will have many opportunities to come to the door by herself.
For Wan Qiwen, some opportunities must be actively pursued.
"Sister Zhen, can I think about this matter again?"
did not directly agree to Zeng Lizhen, it was Jiahe who had also sent someone to contact Wan Qiwen before, how to choose between the two companies, she still needs to make a serious trade-off.
Zeng Lizhen didn't think that she could convince Wan Qiwen in just a few words, as long as Wan Qiwen had this attitude, it was enough.
"We'll talk more about that when we have time."
Zeng Lizhen got up from her seat, shook hands with Wan Qiwen, and was about to leave, but heard a voice from outside the dressing room that she didn't want to hear the most.
"Miss Lin, Ah Wen is in this dressing room, she may be removing her makeup, why don't I go and inform her first?"
After so many years of fighting in the wireless open and secret, Zeng Lizhen is very familiar with Liang Jiashu's voice, but what makes her wonder is that the "Miss Lin" in Liang Jiashu's mouth is sacred, Liang Jiashu actually spoke so politely, and even had a bit of a flattering meaning.
In Zeng Lizhen's impression, Liang Jiashu would only behave like this when talking to Fang Yihua, and for a while, her curiosity about the identity of the person who came even overwhelmed the embarrassment of meeting Liang Jiashu directly.
Pushing open the door of the dressing room, Liang Jiashu was about to greet Wan Qiwen inside with a smile on his face, when he suddenly saw Zeng Lizhen, and his expression froze suddenly.
"Why are you here?"
"This powder room is for women, why can't I be here?" Zeng Lizhen pushed back with a sentence, which made Liang Jiashu not embarrassed.
"Uncle Liang, are you looking for me?" Wan Qiwen saw that the atmosphere in the dressing room was not right, so she hurriedly stood up to play a round.
Liang Jiashu glanced at Zeng Lizhen, hesitated and refused to speak, but at this time he heard a pleasant female voice behind him.
"Mr. Liang, didn't you say that Miss Wan was the only one in the dressing room?"
Zeng Lizhen had already seen Lin Zhiling standing behind Liang Jiashu at this time, and there was a slight doubt in her eyes, she felt that she seemed to have seen each other somewhere.
Without waiting for Zeng Lizhen to react, Liang Jiashu took the lead to help Lin Zhiling introduce and said: "Miss Lin, this is Ms. Zeng Lizhen, the director of the wireless production department, of course, she will leave soon, I heard that she is going to Shaw Brothers to go to high school...... Ms. Zeng, I'm not wrong, am I? ”
Zeng Lizhen had already recognized that Miss Lin behind Liang Jiashu was the female secretary newly recruited by Lin Youlun, and while resenting Liang Jiashu for putting on small shoes for herself, she couldn't help but be curious about the other party's purpose in finding Wan Qiwen.
